I’ve had enough of this guy and his screwy ideas.

[Steamburg]

I hear digging is much easier along the fault lines.

[AmusedBystander]

Traffic is driving me nuts.

Or he could just move to the desert. Not much traffic there.

[smileyface]

or Lone Skum.

[faithhopecharity]

Yes thanks. But he’s talking about boring new tunnels. That will get him into a lot of gas lines and sewer pipes and oil gas and water and tar and so forth.

[dsrtsage]

I think there is not enough traffic in LA...therefore they should double the population by importing people from third world cultures

[tumblindice]

Elon must not have heard that Uncle Sugar just left town, so he won’t be able to soak taxpayers again.

This is why so many in the LA area are insane. Sitting in traffic 3 hours or more per day is a slow motion trip to the rubber room for many. Rolling behind 10 zillion exhaust pipes pointed right at you, while sitting there sucking it up. All while some moron on the radio frantically warns that Trump will stop millions more from coming in and joining this epic slow crawling circus.

Yes I’m a billionaire But to Hell with money. I always wanted to just be a nice furry little gopher digging up Los Angeles. I’m gonna dig a hole all the way from barbara streissand’s private mansion to the very last tract home in Indio! Yippee! Mommy watch me dig !!

If we could deport the one million illegals in LA/OC traffic would be so much better.

And ‘one million’ is the official number reported for illegals- the real number is liable to be double or even triple that.

[SpaceBar]

This is why so many in the LA area are insane.

The same is true of the Bay Area now.

[PAR35]

The big dig in Boston only cost about $3 billion. The rest was for graft, corruption, and shakedowns.

And even then, it was poorly done, it was soon killing people. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/boston-tunnel-collapse-kills-newlywed/

[Scrambler Bob]

This Mole should dig the tunnel all the way back to MeHico, one way.

Free entry for all the self-deporters.

[dragnet2]

What they really need for the entire S. CA area is an immediate 5 year moratorium or complete stop for ALL housing development of any kind.

[Pelham]

Earthquake faults, rotten rock, seeping gas.

[Rastus]

Slum Kone.

[roadcat]

Traffic is driving me nuts.

Hey, I have an idea! Don't give drivers licenses to illegal aliens, and take them away from those that already got them. Confiscate cars from illegal aliens. Deport illegal aliens. That ought to clear away at least half the traffic in L.A.

[Defiant]

Who’s going to stop him, the mole people?
